A TERRIBLE LEAP.
An Aeronaut Jumps From His Balloon
Through One Mile of Space.

An Aeronaut Jumps From His Balloon
Through One Mile of Space.
QUINCY, ILL.,, July 5.-The much talked
of leap from balloon was made by Prof.
Thos. S. Baldwin, at the Fair grounds, this
city, to day. Over 10000 people witnessed
the performance, which was very daring.
Baldwin assembled to height of one mile
and then, holding his parachute, launched
himself into space. The parachute was
about eighteen feet IN diameter and made
of strong cords and silk. When the jump
was made it was closed, and the first 200
feet the aeronaut dropped like rock;
then, as the parachute expanded, the speed
became, less rapid, and the @ronaut and
his strange apparatus foated steadily
down like bird. 1t was a
grand sight. The descent was ac.
complished in three minutes and twenty
seconds. Baldwin struck ground with
some force, but not enough to injure him
his attempt to collapse the balloon when
jumping failed. 1t scared away skyward
when relieved of his weight. Baldwin is a
native of Quincy, and 26 years old. He
was for a number of years engaged in
newspaper business here, but for the last
four years has been studying athletics and
ballooning. He made a similar leap in
California last winter, the distance being
thousand feet.

would have on the commercial interests
of the country, he said in his opinion it
would damage them severely, that the
bill was an i'll advised measure,
that it will have to be ex-
pounded thoroughly before anybody can
understand it. That it was not passed
on the claim that it would meet the re-
quirements of the commerce Of the
country, but it was the result of that in
fernal feeling against railroads that ex-
lists everywhere in this country-that
feeling that railroad should be downed.
1t was aggressive legislation promoted by
blackleg politicians, and almost the entire
press of the country, both of which make
political thunder out of the position as
sumed against railroads. It is an essy
issue to go before the people on, for they
know the railroads cannot retsliate. II
it had not been for the railroads this
country would be fifty years
further back than it is to-day in
civilization and general advancement.
Take the railroads away and the country
would sink back fifty years. There may
be causes for public feeling against some
railroads but the feeling now is wide
spread and general. Other legislation
should be provided to control railways
and railroad men | think should have q
hand in it. The Governor said he
thought the bill would diminish railroad
construction.
